High-end EF3 tornado touched down just inside Missouri, southwest of Roxana, Illinois. It downed trees in rural northeastern St. Louis County and then quickly crossed the Mississippi River at its confluence with the Missouri River and into Madison County, Illinois. The tornado damaged a commercial building and snapped power poles in southern Hartford and then moved through the town of South Roxana, where it destroyed a wood-frame metal-sided storage building and caused heavy damage to a steel-framework industrial warehouse building (where a wall was buckled and steel roof girders were twisted) at a landfill just east of town. The tornado continued to north of Edwardsville before it dissipated.
